Jim Johnson on Hyperinsulinaemia
Professor Jim Johnson is in the Department of Physiological Sciences and Surgery, in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. His research focuses on the pathophysiology and signalling mechanisms underlying both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, obesity, longevity, Alzheimer’s and cancer. In this talk he describes the role of excess insulin as a driver of insulin resistance, obesity and disease.
The role of wheat in inflammation
In this review we discuss evidence from in vitro, in vivo and human intervention studies that describe how the consumption of wheat, but also other cereal grains, can contribute to the manifestation of chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases by increasing intestinal permeability and initiating a pro-inflammatory immune response.
Reversing T2 Diabetes
Establishing Clinical Guidelines for Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction
Low Carb USA talks to Dr. Adele Hite about her herculean effort to co-ordinate the compilation of the document outlining Clinical Guidelines for Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction . This is a massive step towards establishing the Standard of Care for the prescription of Carbohydrate Reduction as a Therapeutic Intervention. That has been our main focus since about April 2018 and this document is a brilliant starting point for the conversations that will eventually lead to a consensus and an SoC for practitioners using this lifestyle intervention in their practice.
What’s more exciting is that we have been approached by numerous people to translate it into several different languages. The Clinical Guidelines for Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction are available in English, German and Portuguese and Spanish, French, Dutch and Indonesian are close behind. There will be translation into many other languages in the future.

People Are Doing it for Themselves
The Times is reporting on what they are referring to as “an online revolt by patients.” Diabetes.co.uk, a health organization that opposes the official dietary guidelines for diabetes treatment, launched a study, which included over 120,000 participants, the majority of whom suffer from weight related type-2 diabetes.
These people ate low-carb diets for 10 weeks, in defiance of the UK government’s Eatwell Guidelines, which mimic official US guidelines.
Over 70% of participants lost weight and improved their blood glucose levels.
